Chedaki, a Human male, held the rank of Captain and piloted a Rebel blockade runner throughout the Galactic Civil War. During 3 ABY, Chedaki's ship transported the Rebel leader Leia Organa to the distant Shiva system to look into an unusual concentration of Imperial activity in that little-known area. When they reached Shiva IV, Chedaki and Organa tried to use the blockade runner's shuttle to perform some close-range scans, but their spacecraft was instantly disabled by hidden anti-matter bombs. Although Organa survived the resulting crash on the planet, Chedaki perished in the explosion.
Star Wars (1977) 53, penned by Chris Claremont, marked Chedaki's initial appearance; it was published in 1981.
